Reta Lila Weston Institute of Neurological Studies

Director: Professor Tom Warner

The Reta Lila Weston Institute of Neurological Studies
was founded in 1977 through a generous bequest from the Reta Lila
Weston Trust for Medical Research, with the aim of furthering knowledge
about stroke and neurodegenerative disorders.

There is an active programme of
research into stroke and movement disorders, with particular emphasis
on parkinsonian disorders, including idiopathic Parkinson's disease and
progressive supranuclear palsy (Steele Richardson Olszewski Syndrome).

We
are linked with the Institute of Neurology, the Queen Square Brain
Bank, the Sara Koe PSP Research Centre and the National Hospital of
Neurology and Neurosurgery, and carry out collaborative and
interdisciplinary research combining clinico-pathological, genetic and
cell biological approaches.
